WASHINGTON, D.C., SAN FRANCISCO, CA, MIAMI, FL – October 28, 2025 – Martis Capital is proud to announce its recognition on the Inc. Founder-Friendly Investors list, honoring the private equity firms, venture capital firms, and lenders with a track record of backing founder-led companies. This year’s list recognizes Martis Capital among 248 firms.
The list celebrates the investors that believe in backing founder-led businesses and helping them thrive. All companies on the list have successful track records of collaboration and remaining actively involved with the businesses they invest in. Martis Capital is one of only twelve healthcare-exclusive private equity firms recognized this year and has earned the honor for five consecutive years.
Martis Capital, known for its hands-on and partnership-driven approach, works closely with management teams to strengthen leadership, refine operations, and guide strategic growth across the healthcare landscape. Drawing on more than a decade of experience, the firm helps companies scale effectively and build lasting value.
“We’re grateful to receive this honor recognizing our continued commitment to partnering with exceptional founders,” said Chris Beall, Partner at Martis Capital. “We are proud to find ways to support those businesses making a positive impact on our healthcare ecosystem and believe alignment with founders is essential to that work.”
Dr. Gerard Moawad, CEO of MedCap Health said, “With Martis, we didn’t simply find an investor — we secured a strategic ally that embraced and shared our vision from day one. Their investment has gone far beyond capital: they’ve provided sophisticated operational support, sharpened our growth agenda, and became a catalyst for our next phase of expansion.”
To compile the list, Inc. went straight to the source: entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders completed questionnaires about their experiences partnering with investors and shared data on how their companies have grown during these partnerships.
